AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]In some embodiments, the filling component has a higher moisture content than the dough-based component. In some embodiments, the dough-based component completely encloses the filling component. In certain embodiments, the baked dough-based component is an extruded dough-based component. In some embodiments, the foodstuff is prepared by extrusion.

Problems solved by technology

Such products are difficult to achieve in certain baked goods because, for example, moisture migration from a soft portion (such as a filling) to an outer shell crispy portion (e.g., a dough-based casing) has a tendency to reduce the moistness of the filling and the crispness of the outer shell and degrade the dual texture qualities of the product.

example 1

[0066]A dough was prepared from the following formulation:

INGREDIENTSWt %Flour65% to 95%Granulated sugar 0% to 20%Dough salt0% to 2%Calcium carbonate0% to 2%Soluble corn fiber5% Resistant maltodextrin1% Oat fiber2% Water 5% to 50%100.00%

[0067]A filling was prepared according to the following formulation:

IngredientsWt (lb)Sugar (including syrups)200 to 700Fruit (powder, puree, fiber) 10 to 200Soluble corn fiber53.4Water15 to 100starch20 to 100Oat fiber23.4Texturizers, acidulants,10 to 50preservativesResistant maltodextrin12.1Natural / artificial color and 0 to 20flavorsSalt5.6

[0068]The dough and filling were coextruded in a ratio of 55% dough and 45% filling to product an unbaked foodstuff. The baked product displayed desirable dual texture (having a soft moist filling and a crispy dough-based casing) that resisted moisture migration.

example 2

[0069]Dough-based portions were prepared and tested with different fiber blends, according to the formulations below:

Ratio ofSoluble toInsolubleFormula 1% of FibersFiberSoluble corn fiber613Resistant maltodextrin14Oat fiber251

Formula 2RatioSoluble corn fiber909Oat fiber101

Formula 3RatioSoluble corn fiber300.43Oat fiber7011.00

[0070]The ratios listed in the table above represent the ratio of soluble fiber to insoluble fiber. Formula 1 included soluble fiber (soluble corn fiber and resistant maltodextrin) in a ratio of 3:1. Formula 2 included soluble fiber to insoluble fiber in a ratio of 9:1, and Formula 3 included soluble fiber to insoluble fiber in a ratio of 0.43:1.

[0071]Products for formulae 1, 2 and 3 described above were analyzed in a qualitative panel. The panel found that the texture of the foodstuffs prepared with the fiber blends of Formulae 1, 2, and 3 were each deemed acceptable, as they exhibited a dual texture having a crispy dough-based portion and a soft filling.

example 3

[0073]Foodstuffs were prepared with varying fiber blend levels in the filling and in the dough, and with varying amounts of filling in the foodstuff, as follows:

Filler FiberCasing FiberFiller LevelRun(%)(%)(%)13.6050203.23534435417505005062.52.5507603582.543590450100835116250121.8035

[0074]It was observed that the foodstuffs with less filling had crispier dough-based portions and less taste from the filling, while the foodstuffs with more filling had less crispy dough-based portions and fuller flavor from the filling. Additionally, the foodstuffs including fiber in both the filling and the dough-based portion demonstrated a crispier texture, which remained crispier over time.

Abstract

A dual-textured foodstuff comprising a total fiber content of about 2.5 g to about 5.0 g of fiber; a baked dough-based component including a dough-based component fiber blend with soluble fiber and insoluble fiber in a ratio of about 9:1 to about 0.43:1; about 40 wt % to about 60 wt % of the total fiber content; and a crispy texture throughout the shelf life of the foodstuff; along with a baked filling component present in an amount of about 35 wt % to about 60 wt % of the foodstuff, the baked filling component being in direct contact with the baked dough-based component, and having a soft texture throughout the shelf life of the foodstuff; a relative humidity of about 0.6 to about 0.8.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 901,897 filed Nov. 8, 2013 entitled “Dual-Textured Snack With Fiber Blend”, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to food products that have a dual texture. It is desirable to develop a food product that has a first texture that is crispy or both crispy and crunchy and a second texture that is soft. It is also desirable that such a product retain its dual texture characteristics even after a long shelf life period. Such products are difficult to achieve in certain baked goods because, for example, moisture migration from a soft portion (such as a filling) to an outer shell crispy portion (e.g., a dough-based casing) has a tendency to reduce the moistness of the filling and the crispness of the outer shell and degrade the dual texture qualities of the product.BRIEF SU...
